About Me

I am a mother of three boys (three boys, being punished for my sins!) and have been a fan of photography for years. I started shooting weddings seriously about five years ago. With the arrival of my twins, I decided to reduce my working hours in order to spend more time at home with my boys. Using photography to make up for the loss of income was a natural progression.

This is where you will be able to catch regular excerpts of what I am up to...
Pucker up!

Oliver and Jake on the kitchen steps, just before we left for Uncle's house on Sunday.   Jakes killer pose, as Oliver wipes away any traces of a kiss! I am using these photo's to "buy" a couple more days, Nicki and Dave later this week!

Happy Birthday MamaGOliver!

When I was a teenager, I thought that when I had reached my mid - OK, so officially just past the 'mid', now I'm in my 'later' 30s - I would be all grown up, act responsibly and be as serious about life as all "adults" do. Why is it, then, that my mind still feels like I am in my early twenties? Picture courtesy of Sam....who else?

Dedicated to Ava - Superprincess
August 22, 2008 // Personal
There's an Australian blog I've been accessing (nay, addicted to) for virtually two and a half years or so.  Little did I know, at the time, that this particular blog would make me quietly weep and, most of all, remind me to deeply cherish my children and to hug them a little tighter at every opportunity - especially, at night. Whilst I have never made any attempt to contact the author (Sheye), I find her photography and down-to-earth writing, despite her very personal  tragedy, a constant inspiration.  Above all, it makes me appreciate every micro-second with my boys; not to mention how the most simple (plus taxing) moments in a day are, in all reality, of the utmost importance. Today, little Ava (Sheye's first daughter) should have celebrated her 5th Birthday. My lads (and Ashley, of course) released three balloons for you today, Ava.  Sorry, precious Ava, but the shop did not stock pink, but I am in no doubt, at all, your Mum, Dad, Ivy and Brothers sent you more than enough pink balloons. . . and some, to boot!! Do not click on the link unless you are prepared to shed a tear! http://sheyerosemeyerphotography.com/blog/2008/08/a-day/

Dror:

I remember the day you sent me a link to this blog without any warnings, that was the last time I clicked on a link from you. V clicked on this one, before I could say anything, and I was instantly back in that place.

Tell Oliver Raboobie says hi ...
